Very please with the Lion update. It seem to work well on my two Macbook pros and my two Mac Mini's.

I backed up my mini server and tried Lion Server again. Unfortunately, is still in desperate need of several major bug fixes in the email, Hosting Multiple Web Sites, WebDev, SFTP, etc....

I have finally learned how to manually configure everything I need in Lion (so machine can perform all of the server functions I need), so I do not really need Lion Server, However, if you are still using Snow Leopard server, I would NOT recommend moving to Lion Server at this time. There are still way to many bugs in Lion Server's configuration tools and Snow Leopard server still just works....

1 Mac Pro(mid 2010) - automatic software update successful. However every program crashes after the update so I say: Thank you Apple for Time Machine(I have downgraded to 10.7.2 now).
No, repair disk permissions didn´t help either...

The last time an Apple update messed up my Mac was the infamous System 7.5.3.

You've been consistent in your posts with Apple bashing.

Spare us the fanboy insults when the majority report no problems with their systems.

I wouldn't call myself an Apple basher, quite the contrary. But I will bash fanboys regardless of their persuasion. Blind allegiance to anything is dangerous. I don't understand people who want to make believe no problem exists for anyone. How dare someone complain.

Show me one post where anyone said the problem doesn't exist for anyone? I can show you your post where you told everyone to stay away from this update.

You should realise that EVERY SINGLE FRACKING Mac OS update will FUBAR a few users Macs. By your rationale no one should ever update their OS because someone will be negatively affected by it.

EDIT: One strange thing - VLC Player was unselected as my default player for .mkv files on my external HD.
This was easily resolved by right-clicking on movie file, selecting 'Get Info', and changing the Open with application to VLC. Finally I ensured Change All was selected...

Hope this helps

Ah AWESOME. The "Change All" seemed to be the trick. It seems to work better than "Always Open With..."

I had that problem with my 5,1 last year. Does System Profiler indicate that the battery is bad? They replaced mine free of charge at the local Apple store, even though batteries are not apparently covered by AppleCare.

The 10.7.3 update was smooth. No problems.

Thanks for the feedback and it's good to know. That was very decent of Apple, but unfortunately mine says normal.

I had no problems with the 10.7.3 update and it looks to have changed something as I'm on track to pass the 3 hours mark.

Always did Combo updates and never had a serious problem, apart a double restart once after first restart messed it.
Combo 10.7.3 went without Ã* glitch with all 5 machines.
People take too much for granted.

Always Open With is specific to that one file. Change All is telling the system to always open that file extension with that app.

That is one of those things that I think are poorly placed in Mac OS X. You can add to that list default mail and browser apps. These should all be in System Preferences under a tab in Users & Groups, not in the apps.

Cheers, thanks. It's quite obscure.

Apple has pulled the Delta 10.7.3 update due to lots of crashing, apparently. Yet more reason to stick to Combo Updates. Yeah not sure why Software Update forces Delta-only, maybe for the regular folk?

The good news
In 10.7.2 I needed to restart the machine quite often, when coming out of sleep mode, because the screen appeared to be inaccessible. This was a major problem happening everyday, and it now seems to be fixed fixed.

The bad news
My IMac regularly (but not always) does not connect to the internet when coming out of sleep mode. I have to stop start wifi to get it going. i have seen several references to this in other posts and some have suggested the problem is longstanding. For me, I can only say its a new problem to me and its getting annoying.
